The whisky distillers who are to be the trustees of the proposed huge whisky "trust" are working upon the details of their scheme It is claimed that the whisky trust is not to have, like the cotton oil trust, certificates issued at about 30 cents on the dollar, to be at once put on the market and realized on The whisky trust, the trustees claim, will issue its certificates upon strictly cash ba- sis at rock-bottom figures. "Our scheme" :" said one of these trustees, ''is not, like the cotton seed, to inyeigle the public into buy ing certificates at an exorbitant price. We expect to have our certificates listed on the New York Stock exchange, but we do not expect to sell them. We want simply to re- duce the cost of making whisky, not to ad- vance the price. We will shut up all the little distilleries where the methods are ex- pensive, and make all our goods at the big establishments, where the relative cost is the cheapest. That will enable us to make money and pay dividends with whisky at the same price per gallon as now"
 An interesting case has come before a Chi cago court. A walking delegate named Jung is sued by workman named Michael Reirke for the recovery of wages lost through lungs agency. Reirke is& an expert brewer who lately came from Germany. He had no trouble in securing employment with the Bemis-McEvoy company at Chicago and at once joined the malsters' union. He re- mained g member of the union in good stand ing until June when he was unable to meet all his dues and fell behind He was at once expelled, but offered then to pay all arrear- ages if the union would take him back. h. stead, Walking Delegate Jung demanded his discharge from the company and it had to yield, having for some time been completely at the mercy of the union. Reirke, was a sober, honest, industrious, faithful employe, and much valued by the brewery. He was so good workman that he immediately had several chances of employment opened tc him, but the union through the walking del egate followed him up relentlessly and nc one dared employ him. So he has been out of work ever since, and now sues Jung for the wages he has lost while being prosecuted. It isn't likely that Jung has anything, but it is to be hoped that the case will result in a verdict against him.

AFAILURK THUS FAR.

When the labor troubles became frequent and severe the chief remedy proposed was 1egalized arbitration. It was believed by many that such arbitration would set matters right. Like many other theories this theory was plausible. It has not, however, proved very effective in practice.
 MT. Edward Cummings has collected and published in the current number of the Quarterly Journal of Economics the facts, which show that thus far arbitration has failed to accomplish what was expected of it. These facts are interesting and instruc- tive. There are now seven States in which arbitration is legalized. The statutes under which the work has been attempted submit to division into two classes-these which create a permanent board of arbitration ap- pointed by the governor and having juris- diction over an entire State, and those pro- viding only for local boards in each county, usually upon the joint petition to some low CT court of given number of employers or employees. New York and Massachusetts have laws of the first class, while those of the second class are found upon the books of Iowa, Kansas, New Jersey, Ohio and Pennsylvania. Experience with the second kind of arbitration law has been far from satisfactory. Indeed, the record is almost altogether one of inactivity, the laws having proved incapable of accomplishing anything. In Iowa, for example, though the statute has been nominally operative since March, 1886, the commissioner reports that "it has never been tried since it's enactment" The Kansas law, too, enacted about the same time, has been similarly unused. New Jersey has ex- perimented with two statutes, one passed as early as 1880, the other in 1886, but, says Commissioner Bishop, no use has been made of either. So, again, in Ohio, where very elaborate and complicated law was passed in 1885, there is no known case arbitrated un- der it, though the habit of resorting to pri- vate arbitration has greatly increased. Penn sylvania, however, after an experience of four years, is able to report three instances in which it's law has been put in practice, but in neither was the result satisfactory, and the practice of legal arbitration has been abandoned. In Massachusetts and New York the permanent board system has failed because people declined to avail themselves of. it. In both States the boards organized, drew their salaries regularly and held them selves ready for action. But they were not authorized to interfere in any dispute unless called upon; and in actual practice they found nothing to do, because except in limited number of cases nobody invoked their services.
 Thus seems to fade away what many be- lieved would be great benefit. The fact is that people prefer to conduct their business without interference on the part of the State.

 New York Letter in the Springfield Union.l
 It seems perhaps incongruous to speak of etiquette in connection with death, yet use the word for want of better one. This last week I was thrown much with a family which has lost it's principal member in the head of the household. As soon as it was announced through the daily papers letters and cards of coincidence began to arrive, and I observed with interest tkat they really were great consolation. There is no time that one feels the need of friends more. One may not care to receive them while in the first bangs of intense grief, but one likes to know that his friends are aware of his sor- row and are ready to give word of sympa- thy. l will not say it lessens the grief, but 1t certainly lessens the feeling of utter deso- lation. There is and should be an etiquette at this time; that which is prompted by a kind heart, for after all politeness is but an- other name for thoughtfulness and generosi- ty of purpose. On learning of the death of a friend or acquaintance one should immedi- ately send note of sympathy, or if not suf fciently intimate for note, at least card with the words .'With sympathy" or some- thing similar written below the name. These little attentions are so much to the sorrowing heart and so little to do. Recently I met man and his wife who had been frequently entertained at the home of one who had just died. To my astonishment found they had sent no letter of condolence or taken any nos tice of the death. and when I expressed my surprise they replied: "Oh, we'll, we never do such things. It is just as well to wait till we meet them" This is not only discourte- ous, but unfeeling. It is an absolute duty for anyone who has ever visited a family to immediately recognize and participate in their sorrows, as they have in their joys.
 In tke old Puritan days children were taught to conceal their real feelings, as something if not actually improper, at least inappropriate. If they felt joyous they were told not to be too exuberant. If physical or mental pain came to them these were also to be suppressed. Affection too was to be con- cealed. In the old blue laws was one which provided that no mother should kiss her child Sundays, and that no husband and wife should ever show the slightest mark of affection before even their children Is it to be wondered at that from these ideas sprang up race of unsympathetic men and wo- mena Many of these still exist and the man and wife of whom have written belong to that class. It is all mistake. There is

A Word About Catarrh.

Ut is the mucous membrane, that wonderful semi-uid envelope surrounding the delicate tissues of the air and food passages, that Catarrh makes its stronghold. Once established, it eats into the very vitals, and renders life but longdrawn breath of misery and disease, dulling the sense of hearing trammeling the power of speech, destroy ing the faculty of smell, taintng the breath, and killing the refined pleasures of taste Insidously by creeping from simple cold in the head, it as- saults the membranous lining and envelops the bones eating through the delicate coats and caus- ing inflammation, sloughing and death. Nothing short of total eradication will secure health to the mated sufferings leading to fatal termination. Sanford's Radical Cure, by inhalation and by in. ternal administration, has never failed; even when the disease has made frightful inroads delicate constitutions, hearing, sD1el and taste have been recovered and the disease thoroughly driven out
 Each packet contains one bottle of the RADICAL CURE, one box of CATARRHAL SOLVENT and an I'M PROVED INHALER, with treatise and directions and is sold by all druggists for $1.00.

The Picayune says that the South had to resort to these methods, Sin order to maintain those conditions which were essential to the stability and prosperity of society,"" and that "nuch of what has been called southern lawlessness was in reality simply determined and energetic effort to keep the law and the law-making power in the hands of the intelligent and virtuous classes" But now, says the Picayune, the necessity for these things has gone by.

Capt. John Ericsson, who construc-
ted the Monitor gun-boat, that did
such effective service dnring the
civil war, is now in eighty-fifth year,
and still In fnll possession oi his
faculties, keeping constantly en-
ployed in making new inventions.
For twenty years he has been busy
in perfeeting solar motor, which is
intended to utalize the rays of the
sun for the direct production of power
to be applied to machinery. Scientific
men speak in the highest terms OF
the possibilities of this invention,
which is too technical to be described
here. These moters will cost but lit
tie more than an ordinary steam-en-
CINE, while the amount of work they
will do in hot countries will enable
the owners to clear their cost within
year. Sunlight is common enough
and hence the cheapness Of the new
motor. We live in marvellous time
for new inventions. Scientific men
are hard at work to get ali the power
possible out Of coal. Only fourteen
parts out OF hundred are now util-
lied. Then petroleum is being used
as fuel. Marvellous RS have been the
inventions of this century, there Ii
